Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I hope you like the new change to the website. Well, she is cuter than I am anyway.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread is about $2.50-$5 at the grocery store. This costs about 50 cents to make!

This particular cinnamon swirl bread is more for serving with dinner. It isn’t very sweet, but more like a loaf bread or roll. If you want it sweet, the filling is 1 cup of sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. The ingredients are from Money Saving Mom and I tweaked the method and recipe to avoid those holes that develop in the middle of the bread. I’ve also tried her Cinnamon Roll Biscuits and those are yummmmy. I don’t have a photo of them though because we ate them too fast 🙂

1. Get out your bread maker and follow its instructions for the Dough setting. I have an Oster and it says to put all the wet ingredients in first and then add the dry. Pile the flour in a heap and poke a hole in the middle with your finger. Pour the yeast into the hole. Hit Start on Dough setting.

2. Take out the dough and roll it onto a floured surface. One side of the rectangle should be about 9″ since that is the length of the pan. They other side is probably 16″ or so. I didn’t measure, but roll into a rectangle.

3. Beat one egg white and brush this onto the entire rectangle. Then sprinkle with cinnamon or cinnamon/sugar mixture. Drizzle honey on top of the cinnamon if not using sugar.

4. Roll the dough starting at the long end. Place the dough into a greased 9×5″ loaf pan with the seam facing down. Allow to rise again for about 45 minutes.
